Good morning!

Hello,
I was watching the Oprah Show the other day and they had a couple families who were always using the internet, spending alot of time on technology like ps2, computer and laptop. So, when oprah challenged them not use the technology only for use of homework or work purposes, one family had seemed to be addicted to technology. Day 1 they were still breaking their challenge and were told they weren't allowed to use the technology equipment, so they would complain about being bored and nothing else to do. Day 2 they seem to be struggling with out the use of their computers, ps2. They were pacing around the house and complaining there is nothing to do, so they had to spend more time on family quality time and day 3 they started planning to do things together and by day 6 they had learned they really never knew each other likes or dislikes and realized they needed to spend more time together and do things together and they learned alot from each other and realized they were addicted to their technology and were making them lazy, etc.

The two types of business threats are; surveillance(s) of employees and the use of busines-related information, including transaction information, for other purposes.
When it comes to business government collecting and managing my personal information, that the people or organization would freely give or sell my personal information to anyone.
For business governments they should only be allowed to keep the information until "the check is clear" and to immediately disregard personal information no matter what. Also, because of so many identity thefts being reported that would be my biggest concern/worry. Some companies include credit card numbers, social security and bank account numbers and employers, so a thief has no more difficulty applying for a credit card or a loan than the person whose information it actaually is. Them you become a victim of having ruined your credit rating and large amounts of debts.
